I have a 1998 Outback Sport 2.2L and I've been looking for a Turbo Kit for it for the past couple months. If anyone has found one or done this before please Pm me or email me. thanks.

 

Check these sites out:

Forced Air Technologies

Unique Motorsports

Those should get you started. A lot of people are putting WRX setups on their 2.2L subarus, too.

 

Do you know if I'd have to make anything custom to fit a WRX turbo kit on my 2.2. I think that unique motorsports link is broken.

Thanks Alot.

Well, there are three approaches to the WRX setup on the 2.2.....


A) You can put together the exact setup, where you get the WRX crossmember, exhaust manifold, uppipe, downpipe, and turbocharger. However, the intercooler is going to be placed somewhat differently, and you'll have to do SOME customization.

B) You can go to Unique Motorsports, buy the uppipe and downpipe, which will place the turbo in a different spot than the WRX, clock the turbo, and run a custom hose from the turbo to the intercooler. You'll still need to custom fabricate the hose from the air box to the turbo.

C) A totally custom setup, where you fabricate everything...

In any of these cases, I recommend using the stock airbox with a high flow filter, removed snorkster, and fender blocker over any cone filter. That airbox is good for some pretty high horsepower.

You will also need to modify the internal wastegate to open at lower boost. With the intercooler, I'd say run no more than 6 psi, without it, maybe 4.5 or 5. You'll notice a helluva difference though!

 

Do you know of any sites that sell Fuel Pumps and Injectors that I could use with the WRX Turbo Idea. Becuase that is the route that I think im going to go, and does matching up the years of the WRX uppipe, downpipe, exhaust manifold, and turbo need to be done. Thanks alot.

You can get a Walbro 255lph fuel pump at Teague's Auto

I haven't found injectors to be necessary....at least at the 7-8 psi (depending on weather) that I've been running. I have experienced no lean conditions whatsoever. I use the Walbro fuel pump and the Vortech 4:1 RRFPR.

As far as the part-matching for different WRX years....I'm not entirely sure. I would say that the 2002 and 2003 parts would go together, for the most part. I'm not sure about the newer WRX's.

 

so you have a wrx turbo and intercooler, uppipe and downpipe, fuel pump, and a fuel pressure regulator? thats it?

 

Wagons_Own (Ian),

How much are you willing to pay for a complete used turbokit? When or how fast do you want it?

 

I think im going to go with the Forced Air Tech Stage II Kit. But how much would you want for yours and how many miles do you have on it. Also, did it ever have to be resealed?
